Descriptions

Reduced Industrial Carbon Emissions (RICE) is a three year, £9 million operation under the 2014-2020 Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) programme, Priority Axis 1: Research and Innovation. The RICE operation is in direct response to Welsh Government targets for CO2 reduction that cannot be met with present technology, conversely, Welsh industry desperately needs to lower energy costs and raw materials consumption to ensure global competitiveness; which will be capable of initiating and driving significant additional sustainable world-leading research and the creation of new businesses for existing SME’s and economic growth through its strategic operation and collaboration with global, regional and local industry stakeholders and world-class academic partners.The RICE operation will include the location of pilot units on demonstration sites, which necessitates assistance in ensuring that pilot units can be successfully located on industrial partner locations in West Wales and the Valleys for evaluation. This must be accomplished in a timely manner and meet all Health and Safety requirements. In order to achieve this outcome the RICE operation is requiring external consultants with the relevant experience in local industrial sites as well as COMAH, HAZOP and process safety design, and appropriate environmental legislation. Design aspects of the project will be required to be reviewed.NOTE: The authority is using eTenderwales to carry out this procurement process.
